With this tutorial, we will show you how to sort post type results in WordPress admin by sorting with a post type meta key in numerical order. <\/p>\n

So let’s say for example that you want to sort by ID the job post type from highest to lowest. First, we will need to build the necessary columns for our Job post type.<\/p>\n

So here’s to adding our id-job column; make sure to change the post type name. <\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

We will display our results in the column by following the instruction; if we want to add more columns.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
add_filter( 'manage_emplois_posts_columns', 'themespress_custom_edit_mycpt_columns' );\nfunction themespress_custom_edit_mycpt_columns( $columns ) {\n\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Admin columns Informations Post Type \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\n\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\n  switch ( $column ) {\n    case 'id-emploi' :\n\t\/\/ On appelle notre meta key\n        echo get_post_meta( $post_id, 'id-emploi', true );\n\tbreak;\n    }\n}<\/pre><\/div>\n\t

We will now do our parse_query that will enable us to sort our Job ID from highest to lowest. We add a condition “return” if we are not in the WP admin.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
add_filter( 'parse_query', 'themespress_custom_post_sort' );\nfunction themespress_custom_post_sort($query) {\n \n    if ( ! is_admin() )\n        return $query;\n \n    global $current_screen;\n    if ( isset( $current_screen ) && 'emplois' === $current_screen->post_type ) {\n        $query->query_vars['orderby']  = 'meta_value';\n        $query->query_vars['meta_key'] = 'id-emploi';\n        $query->query_vars['order']    = 'DESC';\n    }\n}<\/pre><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With this tutorial, we will show you how to sort post type results in Wordpress admin by sorting with a post type meta key in numerical order.
